Contact Us TodayWinnipeg anchors the Canadian Prairies' grain trade and hosts national cereal and milling operations — gluten-free certification here typically means oat- and pulse-based products where the raw agricultural supply chain is the contamination battleground. Manitoba's pulse-processing growth (pea flour, bean ingredients) adds a distinctive angle: naturally gluten-free crops handled in grain systems shared with wheat, where intake testing and handling controls decide certifiability.
Because the certifier audits contamination risk, not botany: shared elevators, trucks, and mills put wheat and barley in contact with your supply chain. Certification needs supplier controls or purity protocols, intake testing, verified clean-down in shared equipment, and finished-lot testing below threshold. We build the chain-of-custody evidence.
Risk-based but typically: intake screening of incoming lots, in-process or equipment verification after changeovers, and finished-lot R5 ELISA testing with certificate-of-analysis retention. GFCO additionally audits your lab or kit competency. We design the sampling plan and train your team.
Certification under recognized gluten-free programs (GFCO, BeyondCeliac/CSA in Canada), focused on cross-contact controls, ingredient verification, and validated testing.
